Tabarrok: In this post I will argue that the truth of the lab leak hypothesis does matter. Cowen: In Haiti, I was robbed at gunpoint. Someone tried to steal my car. So I guess it wasn't so dangerous after all. The spicy macaw tripe was the best I've had. In line at the airport, I met Elvis.

You, a normie: I have no idea when to use o3-mini-high or o1. Me, a connoisseur: the o3-mini-high is really more of a sativa. Very cerebral. Gets those creative juices flowing. o1 is more of a body high. Couch locked, contemplating the universe.

I've been asked on several occasions why ReadIt.bot doesn't have an all-you-can-eat subscription option. It seems like many people don't know that all-you-can-eat subs are often a bad deal. The problem is that it's like a game of "split the check" where everyone sitting at your table is a stranger.

There's this common folk belief about type 2 diabetes that it's caused by eating too much sugar, but afaict that's not the mainstream view among people who actually research it. The mainstream view is that it's caused by excess calories, fat (especially visceral fat), and genetics.

The key to a great dinner party is to send out a list of topics beforehand and moderate a single conversation? Idk I just scored 22 on that autism quiz and this is too autistic even for me.

Lmaooooo I didn't even think I was answering that autistically. But I guess that's exactly what an autist would say.

I think I've developed some sort of neck injury from reading on my phone too much. Clearly, a life of the mind has taken its toll (scrolling shit posts for 8 hours a day).

Threads is the wildest. I'd just write unhinged posts to my 30 followers and the algorithm would blast it to 50,000 turbonormies and absolutely gigafry them.

What's your favorite free macos app for accessing the OpenAI/Anthropic API directly? Pal on iOS is pretty good, but still haven't found a good solution for macos.

Threads is such a weird vibe. Almost 300 million users, most of them completely unprepared for social media.

If you're going to let your kiddo watch TV, Peppa Pig is a pretty great option because they'll start picking up British English phrases like elevator -> lift and Santa -> Father Christmas.
